Payara Micro Documentation

This section covers how to use Payara Micro.

Payara Micro is an embedded release of Payara built from the Payara Embedded Web
release. It allows you to deploy and run WAR files from the command line with
a single command, and also features automatic, dynamic clustering with Hazelcast.

Documentation Conventions

Any commands listed will be written assuming they are being run from the same
directory as the Payara Micro JAR file.

Any commands listed will also be written assuming that the system environment
variables have been set up to have Java on the system Path.

Any paths listed throughout the documentation will use the Unix/Linux file
path structure (forward slashes).

The owning class of an API method will not be explicitly stated unless it is
not clear if an instance has been started or not; methods that operate on Payara
Micro instances before they have been bootstrapped (instances that have not
yet been started) are contained in the PayaraMicro class, whereas methods
that operate on bootstrapped instances (running instances) are contained
within the PayaraMicroRuntime class.
